Zhongchang Wang received his Ph. D. in materials science from the University of Tokyo in Japan (2007). He thereafter spent two years (2008-2009) as a research associate at Advanced Institute for Materials Research, Tohoku University (Japan) and subsequently three years (2010-2013) as an assistant professor. In 2013, he was promoted to associate professor at Tohoku University. In 2016, he was also a visiting scientist at University College London (UCL), UK. Since 2017, Zhongchang Wang started as a principal investigator (PI) and senior staff researcher at INL, and established a research group of “Atomic Manipulation for Quantum Nanotechnology” at INL. He is going to work on structure-property interplay of two-dimensional materials and nanomaterials at the atomic scale so as to fulfill atomic manipulation of quantum nanostructures by combining transmission electron microscopy, spectroscopy, first-principles calculations and property assessment.
He has received a total of 19 research grants from government and companies, and (co-) authored over 190 peer-reviewed SCI-indexed papers in Nature, Nature Nanotech., Nature Commun. Adv. Mater., Angew Chemie, Nano Lett., ACS Nano, Phys. Rev. etc., with 10 papers appearing in Nature and its series. He has published two book chapters. He has also delivered over 40 invited talks in international conferences and received several awards from Japan and USA. He served as Lead Guest Editor of Frontiers in Chemistry (IF: 3.994), Lead Guest Editor of Journal of Nanomaterials (IF: 1.871) and Guest Editor of Journal of Spectroscopy (IF: 0.761).
Research Interest: Two-Dimensional Materials, Nanomaterials, Defects in Materials, Interfaces and Grain Boundaries, Thin-Film Growth, Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), Chemical Vapor Transport (CVT), Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE), Atomic-resolution Imaging, Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy, Spectroscopy, In-Situ Experiments, Density Functional Theory Calculations, Preparation and Physics of Low-Dimensional Systems, Quantum Electron Transport, Magnetic Property, Optoelectronic Property, Multiferroics, Catalytic Property, Functional Devices.
